Vals AI estimates Anthropic reaches full recursive self-improvement in 2027
Overview
Vals AI estimates Anthropic could reach full recursive self-improvement (RSI) around July or August 2027, according to a post by Rayan Krishnan on X, which describes the RSI Index.
The index tracks how well AI agents complete tasks such as pretraining, post-training, and framework-level engineering work done by lab researchers.
Krishnan's account says Gemini has the steepest curve on the index, and he links that to Google prioritizing RSI.
